    No point to, they are not much stronger. Get a triple edge trans.

    A 4t80 is world's stronger than a 4t65e..

    The pain of it is fitting that big ****er in the engine bay

    That's ***** **** to that trans.

    As for how hard of a swap...

    Do you like drilling into the block?
    Are you skilled enough to wire the trans harness in?
    Can you fabricate new mounts for the placement of the transmission?
    New axles... Custom size I believe.
    Tuning the computer for the Trans.
    Drilling the flex plate for the 4t80 converter.

    That's most of it.

    You could probably find a junkyard trans for WAY less than $1k that will hold you over while you save up for decent built one.
